Manuel Rodriguez MAGISTRAL F-C Classical guitar

The Manuel Rodríguez MAGISTRAL F-C guitar belongs to a series of guitars made entirely of solid woods with unique characteristics and a very attractive price/performance ratio. These guitars come in a special finish with matt satin lacquered top and eco-friendly high gloss polyurethane varnish back and sides. All models include the original Spanish heel, the traditional feature of an authentic Spanish guitar. In this special construction method, the one-piece neck extends into the body and connects directly to the sides, back and top. This not only guarantees an enormous stability, but also the optimal transmission of vibrations, a faster response and a higher sustain. The true heart of a Spanish guitar. All guitars in the MAGISTRAL range are handmade in Europe and have additional features that are quite special in this moderate price range. These include the mahogany neck, which has an ebony inlay on the back for extra stability, the nut and bridge saddle, handmade from vintage oiled bone, and the eco-friendly water-based high-gloss lacquer. The innovative 12-hole Moreno bridge, thanks to its special construction, allows the strings to always have the same contact pressure on the bridge. In contrast to the standard 6-hole bridge, the strings can be fixed more easily, quickly and securely. The risk of the strings slipping and damaging the top is considerably reduced. A special feature of all Manuel Rodriguez 4/4 guitars is the built-in armrest, which offers two decisive advantages: its rounded shape ensures a particularly pleasant playing comfort and allows the soundboard to vibrate freely over the entire surface, as it prevents sound damping due to the positioning of the arm on the top of the guitar. More sound, more comfort. The German-made Hannabach 815HTC strings are factory-fitted and perfectly complement the tonal quality of this series. Free gig bag included.

The Alhambra 7PA is a classical guitar and Conservatory model, made from solid woods to specific concert measurements. The top is made from select German spruce, the back and sides from Indian rosewood, the neck from mahogany and the fingerboard from ebony, with luxury gold-plated machine heads. This top-notch professional model is fantastic value for money. The sound and finish live up to the high standards we’ve come to expect from an Alhambra guitar, with exquisite attention to detail, and a warm, well-balanced sound. Volume and projection respond to the requirements of a concert guitar. Alhambra gig bag included.

The Camps M10 guitar. This model from Camps guitars has a refined, understated elegance, which is especially true of the dark, burnished ziricote back and sides. The sound has huge projection; the basses are deep and powerful, without overshadowing the lustrous trebles. This superb instrument has a fast response in every register. Great comfort and playability. Meticulous attention has been paid to the precise adjustment of the action of the strings, the design of the guitar and the finish of the woods. A thoroughly recommendable model for the discerning guitar player. Gig bag included.

The new Alhambra Crossover CS-LR CW E1 is an electro-classical crossover guitar with solid cedar top and Indian rosewood body and fingerboard. Comes with Fishman Classic M. Option to incorporate Fishman Flex Blend (go to the options tab). Alhambra Crossover is a new concept that combines the features of both the classical guitar and acoustic guitar to produce a fusion instrument of great sound and comfort. The most noteworthy feature of the new Alhambra Crossover range is the introduction of a truss rod in the neck of the guitar to stabilise the neck and achieve the perfect relief. Alhambra Gig bag included.
